The Dutch transported slaves fromIndonesia, Madagascar, and India as labour for the colonists in Cape Town.
the Dutch settlers met the southwesterly migrating Xhosa people in the region of the Fish River. A series of wars, called the Cape Frontier Wars, were fought over conflicting land and livestock interests.
The discovery of diamonds, and later gold, was one of the catalysts that triggered the 19th-century conflict known as the Anglo-Boer War, (fought by British and Boers)
Conflicts arose among the Xhosa, Zulu, and Afrikaner groups who competed for territory.
Great Britain took over the Cape of Good Hope area in 1795, to prevent it from falling under control of the French First Republic, which had invaded the Dutch Republic.
Great Britain wanted to use Cape Town as an interim port for its merchants' long voyages
The British returned Cape Town to the Dutch Batavian Republic in 1803, the Dutch East India Company having effectively gone bankrupt by 1795.
The British finally annexed the Cape Colony in 1806 and continued the frontier wars against the Xhosa; the British pushed the eastern frontier through a line of forts established along the Fish River.
The Boer Republics successfully resisted British encroachments during the First Boer War (1880–1881) using guerrilla warfare tactics, which were well suited to local conditions.
The British returned with greater numbers, more experience, and new strategy in the Second Boer War (1899–1902)
After four years of negotiating, the South Africa Act 1909 created the Union of South Africa from the Cape and Natal colonies, as well as the republics of Orange Free State and Transvaal, on 31 May 1910, eight years after the end of the Second Boer War. The newly created Union of South Africa was a British dominion.
In 1939 the party split over the entry of the Union into World War II as an ally of the United Kingdom, a move which the National Party followers strongly opposed.
Despite opposition both within and outside the country, the government legislated for a continuation of apartheid(a system of segragation). The government harshly oppressed resistance movements, and violence became widespread, with anti-apartheid activists using strikes, marches, protests, andsabotage by bombing and other means.
Apartheid became increasingly controversial, and some Western nations and institutions began to boycott doing business with South Africa because of its racial policies and oppression of civil rights.
Numerous early hominin remains have been found at the site over the last few decades. These have been attributed toAustralopithecus, early Homo and Paranthropus.
Modern excavation of the caves began in the late 1890s by limestone miners who noticed the fossils and brought them to the attention of scientists.
Geography:
Unlike most of Africa, however, the perimeter of South Africa's inland plateau rises abruptly to form a series of mountain ranges before dropping to sea level. These mountains, known as the Great Escarpment, vary between 2,000 meters and 3,300 meters in elevation.
"Ridge of White Waters" in Afrikaans, commonly shortened to Rand. The Rand is a ridge of gold-bearing rock, roughly 100 kilometers by thirty-seven kilometers, that serves as a watershed for numerous rivers and streams.
South Africa has an area of 472,281 square miles (1,223,208 square kilometers).
Architecture in the European sense began with the construction of Cape Town by the Dutch late in the seventeenth century.

History:
In 1652 Jan van Riebeeck established a refreshment station at the Cape of Good Hope, at what would become Cape Town.
The Dutch transported slaves fromIndonesia, Madagascar, and India as labour for the colonists in Cape Town.
the Dutch settlers met the southwesterly migrating Xhosa people in the region of the Fish River. A series of wars, called the Cape Frontier Wars, were fought over conflicting land and livestock interests.
The discovery of diamonds, and later gold, was one of the catalysts that triggered the 19th-century conflict known as the Anglo-Boer War, (fought by British and Boers)
Cape Town became a British colony in 1806.
Conflicts arose among the Xhosa, Zulu, and Afrikaner groups who competed for territory.
Great Britain took over the Cape of Good Hope area in 1795, to prevent it from falling under control of the French First Republic, which had invaded the Dutch Republic.

Great Britain wanted to use Cape Town as an interim port for its merchants' long voyages
The British returned Cape Town to the Dutch Batavian Republic in 1803, the Dutch East India Company having effectively gone bankrupt by 1795.
The British finally annexed the Cape Colony in 1806 and continued the frontier wars against the Xhosa; the British pushed the eastern frontier through a line of forts established along the Fish River.
Due to pressure of abolitionist societies in Britain, the British parliament stopped its global slave trade with the passage of the Slave Trade Act 1807 and then abolished slavery in all its colonies with the Slavery Abolition Act 1833.
In the first two decades of the 19th century, the Zulu people grew in power and expanded their territory under their leader, Shaka
The discovery of diamonds in 1867 and gold in 1884 in the interior started the Mineral Revolution and increased economic growth and immigration.
The struggle to control these important economic resources was a factor in relations between Europeans and the indigenous population and also between the Boers and the British

The Boer Republics successfully resisted British encroachments during the First Boer War (1880–1881) using guerrilla warfare tactics, which were well suited to local conditions.
The British returned with greater numbers, more experience, and new strategy in the Second Boer War (1899–1902)

The newly created Union of South Africa was a British dominion.
In 1934, the South African Party and National Party merged to form the United Party, seeking reconciliation between Afrikaners and English-speaking "Whites"
In 1939 the party split over the entry of the Union into World War II as an ally of the United Kingdom, a move which the National Party followers strongly opposed.
In 1948, the National Party was elected to power.
On 31 May 1961, following a whites-only referendum, the country became a republic and left the Commonwealth. Queen Elizabeth IIceased to be head of state, and the last Governor-General, namely Charles Robberts Swart, became State President.
Despite opposition both within and outside the country, the government legislated for a continuation of apartheid(a system of segragation). The government harshly oppressed resistance movements, and violence became widespread, with anti-apartheid activists using strikes, marches, protests, andsabotage by bombing and other means.
Apartheid became increasingly controversial, and some Western nations and institutions began to boycott doing business with South Africa because of its racial policies and oppression of civil rights.
http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/rsa/nuke.htm
In the late 1970s, South Africa began a programme of nuclear weapons development. In the following decade, it produced six deliverable nuclear weapons.
The government repealed apartheid legislation.
Sterkfontein is a set of limestone caves of special interest to paleo-anthropologists located inGauteng province, Northwest of Johannesburg, South Africa near the town of Krugersdorp.
Numerous early hominin remains have been found at the site over the last few decades. These have been attributed toAustralopithecus, early Homo and Paranthropus.
Modern excavation of the caves began in the late 1890s by limestone miners who noticed the fossils and brought them to the attention of scientists.
